Wednesday on the U.S. Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) defended the Obama administrations prisoner swap of five top Taliban terrorist for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Reid said Republicans are playing political games. “President Obama as commander in chief acted honorably in helping an American soldier return home,” Reid said. “Unfortunately, though, Mr. President, opponents of President Obama have seized upon the release of an American prisoner of war, that’s what he was, using a moment of celebration for our nation as a chance to play political games.” Reid pointed to Republican senators previously calling for the release of the prisoner of war as hypocritical for now not accepting how the Obama administration brokered the deal. “Some of these senators are now denouncing the very same efforts that secured Sgt. Bergdahl’s release. They’re worried his release could be seen as a victory for President Obama,” he added.
